Great Hall "Ca' Granda", Università Statale di Milano

The Great Hall at the Rectorate of the University of Milan is part of the magnificent Renaissance building, the so-called “Ca' Granda”, designed in the mid-fifteenth century by the famous architect Filarete. The project was commissioned by the duke Francesco Sforza and duchess Bianca Maria Visconti, who wanted to build a unique and monumental city hospital. Its construction was later completed by the architects Solari and Amadeo and further modified during the 17th century; it was then heavily damaged during the Second World War. During the 1950s the building was restored and was then given to the University of Milan.

Today it has been remodeled and features Tempo armchairs with Evo side panels in the stalls, with removable upholstered armrests, customized backrest with double stitching, and equipped with writing tablet; Papillon armchairs for the boardroom; Trendy First Class armchairs for the speakers, foyer and offices; Naxos sofas for the stage; as well as custom-made furniture for the foyer and cloakroom.
